Basic sage (from my garden) and bread dressing, with the chopped celery and onions, butter, and broth from giblet/turkey neck that simmers on the back of the stove. And do you call it stuffing if you cook it on the side, not in the bird? I call it dressing. We should have a pumpkin pie bake off, my specialty, too! Ryan would have eaten the two pies himself, if I didn't stop him before they were all gone. (Mom, do you want any more pie? Yes, but I'm not going to eat it for every meal today. Save some for later!) It's hard to believe I have only three more Thanksgiving dinners with my son before he is off on his own in college. Boy, did those growing up years go quickly.

I worked on re-arranging furniture and plants today, repotting and cleaning. I finally checked my email, and expected the usual 12 - 30 messages, and found only one. A quiet day on the internet. Maybe that's a "good thing".
